    Hi! What’s the best way of removing the twin short bronze bushes from the rear suspension linkage, also the ones on the swingarm? One gets in the way of the other so I can’t press them out. I’ve tried heat and ‘hammer & screwdriver’ approach, so as to get to the other, but to no joy… Cheers for any help, advice. I couldn’t find sh!t on the search engine…

    @Calum I remember you having a Li-ion bonfire but the thing I’m most interested in is the old AC/DC bikes that have three coils on the stator. The ignition coil is horizontal on the top of the stator. The lighting and charging coils are at a V at the bottom of the stator. I don’t claim to understand it but the lighting & charging coils are both numbered the same in the Haynes manual and seem to be connected, unlike the ignition coil which seems to be more isolated. It would seem to have something to do with my investigation into why my headlight dims badly (when I have a FUBAR battery) when I use the brake lights, horn or indicators. I’m hoping that the short life of my battery’s is down to the Reg/Rec being of the oriental OEM variety that’s always been on the bike since I got it. Like the lighting coil being burnt out. It’s the last gremlin on the bike since I got it as a basket case back when the pandemic started. Unfortunately my multi metre chose this time to die, just when I want to check the coils…. The later DC only bikes (anything with more than 3coils) don’t apply to me, unfortunately ….

    Well are you sure it's beyond repair? I mean it has to be pretty bad for that to be the case?

    For you guys in the UK: https://www.gpxmotouk.com/shop-gpx.html They have the parts to convert the DTR to 230cc, can probably get the complete engine too. If I was thinking of a engine rebuild and/or Athena 170, I would go for this instead, based on what I learned from the Athena 170 kit.

    You guys have given me a lot to work with... No, I definitely won't be riding it anywhere when it's running like this. I'll print off this whole thread and show it to my friend who knows a lot more about bikes than me... Thanks

    @irongamer727 You probably won't gain higher revs, as unfortunately, the ability to rev higher is lost with the bigger bore. But yes, you will be able to dial in the ignition much more towards the bigger cylinder. I'd have thought there would be some nice gains with this and the bigger bore.

    @perithtv I've been there too few months ago. Soaking , heating etc etc nothing Take off everything possible what can restrict you in the back and chop the bolt on as much places as angle grinder let you. I had 4 cuts and lifted the pieces off. Bought brand new guts for it and there is more grease then metal on it damaged my axe on it too

    When I bought my bike carb was leaking from overflow pipe all the time, when tank valve was open. I opened the carb and the reason was that, the float valve was upside down! I turn it to right way and overflow stop immediately!!! Check that!

    Cant see why you wouldt want to get better filtration... Airfilter oil is pretty cheap, and the filter is made to flow this way. Youd' be surprised how much crap it catches when you clean it.

    @Mightyman Nah the DTRE's were given full YPVS servos. Although you make a good point, the YPVS does shut off at 10'000 rpm as a restriction. But the point here is the build up of NoX's gases. So whilst they did shut off, the normal person would be part throttle anyway. And if you were pinning it, well you would expect it to give up eventually and this might be why.
